Empire Of Souls - Chapter 129 An end to fate 1
The Night Fury suddenly burst forth with an intense light that blasted away the ‘World of Shadows’ returning the area to its previous state. However, with the blast of light and the explosion of the ‘World of Shadows’ the ‘Lightning Domain’ of Lightning Emperor Eneran shook and began to dissipate.
“What the hell are you doing Melisana? Can’t you even hold back one young Legendary? My ‘Lightning Domain’ has already weakened so much!” shouted Eneran in anger.
Melisana, the Legendary Night Fury, rubbed her hand across her lips and noticed blood trickling from her mouth.
“Fuck, so what if she is young? She is a peak Legendary! How the hell did these two become so strong while so young!? I had no choice but to use my Legendary ability, otherwise I might be dead.”
Eneran snorted, “Fine. Don’t let that girl help Aleksandros. You need to hold her back for a little while longer.”
“You should show a little more caution while facing an enemy!”
Lenia’s body suddenly glew dimly with a foreboding light. She held her sword straight up and her shield at her chest. A powerful aura was blasted outwards from her body causing Eneran’s expression to grow serious.
“It’s true, that in a one on one fight at the Legendary level, that a warrior has a great disadvantage against a ranged Magic Caster. But… this is assuming that the warrior has no way of closing the distance. Let me show you exactly what happens to those who disrespect the name of my master!”
Lenia’s body suddenly flashed forward. It was as if she was being propelled forth by a thousand copies of her body and she closed the distance between her and Eneran almost instantaneously. This was Lenia’s Legendary ability, ‘War god’s expeditious charge!’. Along with the movement that seemed instantaneous, Lenia unleashed hundreds of sword attacks and the flash of her blade reflected brilliantly against the fading lightning.
Each attack was as if Eneran were being hammered by a monstrous beast and his protective spells flashed rapidly until all of his defensive spells shattered and he was sent flying in a spray of blood and screams of pain.
He had truly been careless. Under normal circumstances, he could have used ‘Flight’ to avoid this exact situation, but his use of ‘Lightning Domain’ meant he could not use ‘Flight’. He was still susceptible to attacks on the ground and this attack was unexpected and extremely powerful. He could only imagine that after using this ability, most of Lenia’s vitality must have been depleted, but unfortunately he wasn’t in much of a better state. After heavily colliding with the ground some distance away from Lenia, he could only slowly lift himself up while holding his injured arm and with blood flowing out of many wounds.
Both Nelay and Melisana were equally injured as well after having both used their most powerful abilities and having battled for some time. All four combatants were pretty seriously wounded and were exhausted to the extreme. If nothing changed about their situation, it was guaranteed that none of them would be able to fight for much longer. This was a battle at the Legendary level, and the devastation from their fighting along with that of Aleks and Shelise had already shook the entire area and caused massive damage to the landscape. It was truly a sight of extreme destruction and even those fighting in the settlement in the distance were aware of the apocalyptic like battle through the shockwaves that shook the earth. This could especially be seen from the battle between Shelise and Aleks.
Aleks didn’t hesitate to expend as much ‘Soul Potential’ as was needed and the amount of ‘Soul Tendrils’ that he had created numbered in the thousands. This wasn’t all at once of course, as Shelise was cutting through them as quickly as Aleks created them. Lariel continued to launch spells of various elements, but her Magic Power was also depleted. This was a battle of attrition and it was beginning to wear down all who were participating in it.
“Your comprehension of the Domain of Souls is higher than I expected. I am surprised you have been able to hold out for so long, but it is time to put an end to this.”
Shelise activated an ability which allowed her to slice through hundreds of Aleks’s tendrils in mere moments which had greatly exhausted Aleks’s ‘Soul Potential’. This produced a lull in the battle as Aleks stared down Shelise from a wide distance and Lariel couldn’t help breathing deeply with exhaustion clear in her expression.
“You can’t be doing much better.” Aleks said wearily. Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting.
“This is not just my wish An-Namrud. Even this young girl wants you dead more than you can imagine. Because of you, she never had a real brother. If not for you, her family would have lived and she would still be a princess living in luxury surrounded by her loved ones. She would have married, had children and lived out her life in peace. You are the reason for her suffering, and her pain. You are the cause of the deaths of countless innocent victims. There are none more cursed than you. Only death will save this world from your evil. Do you understand, you do not belong here.”
His words didn’t have any visible effects on Aleks, but who knew what Aleks was feeling in his heart. Lariel frowned when she heard Tihr’s words, but she remained silent. She could only look at Aleks, but because his face was hidden by a mask she couldn’t see what he was feeling. She could only see him standing with some difficulty due to the strenuous battle. However, his bearing was firm and his majesty hadn’t diminished in the slightest.
“I now understand why you have been stuck at your level for so long, unable to advance as a god. No wonder you have gone through all this trouble just to deal with me. This is your only chance, isn’t it? For power, you would do anything… Wouldn’t you? Even going so far to delude yourself and selfishly use others for your own gain. Even other gods can’t escape your manipulation and schemes. God of Justice? What irony. If there was truly justice in this world, then you wouldn’t be allowed to exist!”
Aleks temporarily lost his composure, allowing anger to be suffused in his voice. It was clear that this was something which had been brewing within him. He was usually calm and rarely lost his emotions, but there were times when he would have outbursts like this. His heart was bitter, and his words murderous.
Tihr laughed in response, a ridiculing and callous laugh.
“Then die with bitterness and regret An-Namrud. You are just a pawn in the palm of my hand. Do you think that you are free from my clutches? Everything, even this moment, has been part of my calculations. I allowed you to come here to the Steppes. You have certainly cleared the way well for me. There is nothing like borrowing another’s knife to achieve one’s goals. Now that this expedition has failed, it is a ripe opportunity for me to take control once I remove the cancer before me.”
Aleks regained his calm demeanor and began to accumulate his strength, the souls continued to pour into his body even as they spoke. He didn’t allow the words of Tihr to affect him anymore and he only needed a moment more before he could activate his most powerful ability, ‘Soul Flare’.
“If everything was under your control as you say, then I would have died from the curse. I would never have obtained this power and I would have already disappeared into oblivion. But not only did this not take place, but I have arrived here, alive and well. No, you gods like to believe that everything is according to your will, that you are infallible. But.. the reality is quite different. Not only will you not get what you want this time, it will forever elude you.”
Aleks raised his right arm and thrust it violently towards Shelise and a rampant and primal power poured forth from his body. Menacing and gloomy violet flames ignited around Aleks’s arms and their ethereal beauty could only be admired in the moments before death. Once these flames appeared, it was clearly the end.
